I'm stumped on this and hope you guys can point me in the right direction.

My X1 has a massive push entering corners. So bad that I'm 1 sec. a lap slower than a car on Pardus tires. Only observation is the inside tire lifts in the sweeper. The track size is a little larger than IIC.

Basically to get it to turn, you have to slam the brakes and skid it sideways. But that driving style won't work with our 30 minute mains.

I sauce more on the front. Up to the full tire minus 10mm of the edge. Also I usually run either Tamiya super soft or Ride super soft springs in the front. The car is a little edgy, but steers and settles in as the tires start to warm up. I also run 2 degrees of camber. I ran this on the old CRC grey carpet and the new CRC black carpet. Don't know how this compares to the ETS stuff.
You could also try to remove the 3 shims in the middle posts under the graphite plate that adjusts caster. That will give you a little more reactive steering as well.

So is the track green? If so, the aluminum chassis might not be helping you. In fact, you might be pushing because of the lack of grip.

You can always make the shock longer to get more droop. More camber. More toe out....

I like all these ideas too.

Wondering why you only sauce 1/2 fronts if no steering?

Also, for me, stiffer side springs or more preload as mentioned above will get that front wheel down and should get you to the point where the rear wheel will lift, then go between so both wheels stay down. Or the car flips
Then sauce less of the front tires again.

Surprised no one has suggested 574 front Pit tires (unless there is a spec tire everyone must run.)

We run 574 on high grip carpet and it gives plenty of steering. Might be more likely to traction roll but you can always adjust suspension settings. I run this front tire with my aluminum chassis X1. Even then I still had to go softer front springs since the aluminum chassis took away steering.

Was mainly curious why not saucing more than 1/2 of front tires, more sauce, more steering.

574 is definitely a steering tire if you got the guts. Can be tricky to deal with, but also my tire of choice for fronts.
